Agreeably, you may have to try and figure a way to relate number of families to number of returns. There are only 2 tax brackets and all the lower one would be in the < $30,122 category here..in fact many of that category aren't even counted as stated below. So about 1/3 of the returns are not just in the low bracket but NO bracket and don't pay but may even get money back.

The IRS data in the link to the left include all of the 130 million tax returns filed in 2004 that had a positive AGI, not just the returns from people who earn enough to owe taxes. From other IRS data, we can see that 89 million of the tax returns came from people who paid taxes into the Treasury. That leaves 43 million tax returns filed by people who used exemptions, deductions and tax credits to completely wipe out their federal income tax liability. Not only did they get back every dollar that the federal government withheld from their paychecks during 2004; but some even received more back from the IRS. This is a result of refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which are not included in the aggregate percentile data here.

The Tax Foundation is a wonderful, non biased, non political very well respected group that compiles a huge amount of reliable information on taxes of all sorts.

What is the tax bracket for individuals?

There are many things that will determine which tax bracket you will wind up in. There are tax brackets for single people and married couples. On top of that any individual is able to add an additional amount to be deducted from their gross pay and apply that towards taxes that might be owed at the end of the year. If you have overpaid taxes, when you file your returns, you might get a refund.


Are the tax preparation services offered for free?

"There are some tax preparation services that are offered for free for low-income families. Many online programs, such as TurboTax or HRBlock Online, will offer free online preparation, but charge for filing. If you fall in an income bracket of around under $50,000 per year salary, you might be able to file the Federal Tax Return for free, but you will likely have to pay to file your State Tax Return."

How do you determine your income tax bracket?

Easy way: Add $100 to your income. Calculate how many extra dollars you would pay in taxes. That is your tax bracket. For example, if adding $100 to your income causes you to pay $25 extra in taxes, you are in the 25% tax bracket. Remember that there are separate state and federal tax brackets. This method can be a bit misleading if you are right on the border between two tax brackets. You can also look up your federal tax bracket in the following tables: http://www.moneychimp.com/features/tax_brackets.htm Remember to add state taxes to that. And remember to use your taxable income, that is the income after subtracting all deductions and exemptions. Looking up your income in the tables will be misleading if you are subject to AMT or you are in the phase-out range for certain tax benefits or you are in the phase-in range for taxing Social Security benefits.
